Evolutionary Hologenomics Podcast
The Evolutionary Hologenomics Podcast was started in June 2021 and future episodes are planned. It is available both as video on the CEH YouTube channel and audio on your preferred podcast platform.
Illustrating the microbiome with Master student Daphne Perlman
In this episode of the Evolutionary Hologenomics Podcast, we chat with Master student Daphne Perlman from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel about her research work in microbiology, as well as scientific illustration and data visualisation.
Halloween special spooky microbes with Professor Rob Dunn
October is Halloween month, so we did a special spooky episode with Professor Rob Dunn from North Carolina State University! Microbes are everywhere and they are an indivisible part of us, influencing from our health, to the way we smell to even our behaviour. There are around 200 000 species of microbes in your house! Cleaning your house too much actually results in selecting for the 2% that are the bad ones.
Anniversary episode with Centre Director and Professor Tom Gilbert
In this special anniversary episode Centre Director Tom Gilbert reflects on how he and his team managed to get a centre of excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation, how they were turned down the first time and how finally getting the Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics has opened up for so many new possibilities and collaborations.
Food additives, gut microbiome and trout health - Journal club w. Jacob Agerbo Rasmussen
In this episode, we chat with PhD student Jacob Agerbo Rasmussen about his research in salmonids and their microbiome. We start by introducing the structure of a scientific research paper, and then dive into Jacob’s papers, which focus on the effect of food additives (probiotics and synbiotics) on the gut microbiome of rainbow trout and how that affects either health or disease.
Salmon and tapeworm microbiomes w. guest researcher from NTNU, postdoc Jaelle Brealey
In this episode, we chat with guest researcher and postdoc at NTNU Jaelle Brealey about salmon microbiome and macrobiome. We discuss salmon health and zoom in and out of different compartments to see what bacteria are in the salmon gut, as well as in tapeworms that live in the salmon. Think Matryoshka dolls! Yes, tapeworms don’t have an intestine but they have their own microbiome!
Marsupials and pouch microbiome w. postdoc Raphael Eisenhofer
In this episode, we chat with postdoc Raphael Eisenhofer about all things marsupial! From evolution, to the joys of field work to some pretty cool molecular biology research on pouch microbiome. Raphael has been doing this amazing work for the past two years and now he joins CEH to work on Convergence Hologenomics.
Horizon 2020 project 3D'omics w. Associate Professor Antton Alberdi
In this episode, we catch up with Associate Professor Antton Alberdi and get an overview of what it takes to write such a monumental project application as the one he just did for the 3D Omics project, as well as what the project is actually about. Lots of teamwork and interdisciplinarity, from trial design, to collecting biological samples of host and their gut microbiome, processing them in many ways to obtain a variety of data types, to the actual bioinformatics data analysis.
The Earth Hologenome Initiative w. postdoc Aoife Leonard
On the first episode of our Evolutionary Hologenomics Podcast, we chatted with postdoc Aoife Leonard about the Earth Hologenome Initiative at Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics.
